Botox can be an appropriate treatment for you, but it should be used judiciously to achieve a brow lift. Excessive Botox in the forehead can result in a heavy brow appearance, which may be suitable for men but not desired by women.

It appears that you have achieved a satisfactory result in the glabella area, but the drop in the forehead is a concern. My suggestion would be to only target the glabella during your next treatment and then return after a couple of weeks to have a small amount of Botox injected high on the forehead, just below the hairline. This approach is likely to prevent excessive relaxation of the forehead muscles (frontalis) while providing some relief from the lines.

If you experienced an injector error with your Botox treatment, you may need to wait for the effects to wear off in the next three to four months. During this time, you can search for a more experienced injector for your next treatment.

If you were given too much Botox in your forehead or the placement was too low, causing brow drooping, the effects will revert once the Botox wears off in 3-4 months. It is important to choose an experienced injector for future treatments.
